She’s here…Introducing FRANKiE 4’s latest addition….BETH!

This giveaway has now closed and a winner has been chosen. Congrats to Katie who won with this entry: “Beth, I’ve been following you a while and have been smitten with your choice in footwear for a long time. I’ve decided 2018 is the year to take care of my tired teacher feet so have started to build up a footwear collection that I can be proud of ($15 Kmart flats are cute, but, ouch!). I’d love BETH to join my modest collection and think that rose gold would be the most amazing addition. Wouldn’t you love a teacher with shiney shoes?! Thanks for the chance.”

You guys! It’s time. She’s here. BETH is now available online and I feel as proud as I did introducing my girls to you on the blog. Ok, maybe not quite, but you get the picture….I am pumped! But before we get to the nitty gritty, let me tell you a little about her.

Last year I finally went up to Brisbane to visit Caroline and the team at FRANKiE4 after long admiring this fabulous Australian business and working with them for the past few years. It was when I entered the Indooroopilly store and met the team and sat down for our meeting that Caroline asked me and showed me the latest addition to their family: A hot little brogue in 3 sparkly colours that I instantly fell in love with. This shoe was SO me, I’m not a huge wearer of heels, I love the cool style of a brogue that can worn with ALL OF THE THINGS and it’s versatility to dress up or down so I quickly whacked a pair on and admired this beauty in the mirror. It was then that Caroline told me the news…this beauty…well her name was going to be BETH. If I was OK with that?

UM DER.

I squealed. Twirled. Stroked. Took photos, planned an instant holiday to put her to the test and when of course when we were done with our meeting called everyone I knew to tell them that BETH THE SHOE was coming!

My idea to take BETH to the streets of somewhere overseas seemed like a no brainer to me. After our trip to NYC last year where I tried out some of the Autumn/Winter 17 collection of boots and brogues I heard from so many of you about how your FRANKiE4’s are THE perfect travel shoe. They work hard over many km’s. They are comfortable. They are good for your feet…savings your soles as you go. They look good. And can be dressed up or down and when you are on a limited wardrobe as you can be with travel, they are THE go-to shoe. And it’s not just travel, every single day I wear my FRANKiE’s taking up every show option I have in my wardrobe.

So with my travel photographer with me (handy I am married to him) we booked some cheap flights and escaped to Hong Kong for 3 days to put BETH to the test. For me, there’s nothing like travel exploring to put shoes to the test…and let’s say that BETH did not let me down. Of course she didn’t….I am very reliable!

AND SPARKLY it would seem!

Releasing firstly in two colours (Gold and Blonde) she will be soon available in Rose Gold in February and then in some further colours (Metallic, Pink, Silver and Black) also in February.

She has laser cut leather (similar to the ALEX brogue) with a gorgeous white trim sole.

She is comfy.
She is bloody stylish.
She can go the distance.
She is sparkly (or not).
She works with LOTS of outfits.

And did I mention I love her? I really do.

Let’s take a look at a few of the colours that I wore when we were in Honkers. I had a selection of three: Gold, Rose Gold (available early Feb) and Blonde.

We explored the streets of Soho in the rose gold.

I gave the Blondes a very good walking through the food markets taking in the sights, smells and sounds on a busy weekday morning.

As well as the glorious PEAK where we took in the sights of the entire city below. What a place!

The Gold’s shone on a few boat trips that we took firstly over to Peng Chau.

And then in the evening over to Kowloon to take in the sunset over the city with the obligatory G&T or two of course!

On every outing, whether it was day or night, long walks or quick boat trips to a bar or restaurant, BETH was a winner. Comfortable. Great colours that work with everything you have in your wardrobe and able to be dressed up or down.

I loved everything about this quick trip with the highlight (of course!) being the SHOE.

I know you guys are going to love this versatile shoe for the Autumn and winter ahead with all these great colours and styles coming, I know that BETH will be an essential in your wardrobe either near or far.

And to celebrate the launch of BETH I am giving away a pair of the first drop of colours (Gold, Rose gold & blonde) that we have available from early next month which were the 3 that I wore in Hong Kong. Just tell me what your favourite colour is and I’ll choose one lucky reader to start of your very own collection of BETH.

Giveaway is open from Thursday 25th January 2018 until Friday 2nd February 2018 and is open to Australian residents only. You can read the rest of the T&C’s here.

I am so excited to finally share this beauty with you all and I hope you love her as much as I do.

Oh Beth, they are just stunning! I love the Alex brogue, and am certain I’ll be as smitten with the Beth, especially for Autumn and beyond. I’m torn between the colours, but can’t go past a bit of rose gold bling. Congrats again!! xx

They are GORGEOUS! I got rather into the old brogues over winter and bashed my tan pair to death when we were in Europe in September. I would love the blonde pair to replace those (and, let’s be honest, road test before buying ALL the Beths for winter).

Hi Beth, congratulations! Such beautiful photos and images of Hong Kong. Not only have you tempted my travel bug but shoes!!
Gold shoes at that!! I’m now thinking will I have enough $$ in my splurge stash by February…..when it comes to beautiful Gold shoes, I’ll make it happen! (Maybe a ban on gin & sparkles?….) I’m not going to be able to resist 😊😊

The gold is absolutely stunning. When we got married 4 years ago I desperately looked around for some beautiful, comfortable gold brogues that I could wear for our long wedding day full of walking and dancing and never found them! Perhaps it’s time to renew the vows in a pair of these beauties? 🙂

Aren’t they just too glorious?
I’m thinking the Rose Gold would be a fabulous choice to dance in around my classroom. I’m sure my students would be mesmerised. Hypnotised into working by jolly cool shoes! 😃

How amazing to have a shoe named after you! If I had to pick, I’d say gold was the colour for me.
Hong Kong looks amazing, I’m sure there are deets on the blog so shall go looking.
Congrats on the launch!!

What absolutely stunning photos. Your travel wardrobe was ‘to die for’. To choice just one colour is so hard but I am going to go with blonde! How exciting to have a shoe named after you and such a perfect one💕

I love the simplicity as well as the class of the blonde. They way it can be worn with so many outfits and can be casual or super smart. Loved how they looked with denim and classic white shirt. Perfect combination.

Omg! The Beth! I love it! And the colours! I love them all… blonde would be most versatile…. but gold is so sparkly… and rose gold is so dainty… if I haaaaaaadddd to pick, I’d choose blonde. Please pick me! 😁❤️🤞🏻

Beth!!!!!! You’re shoe famous!! I mean the shoes are exquisite and the photos – oh the photos!!!! I’m a little flushed at the colours and the scenery and the shoes and the Beth – Oh My!!!!!!!! Look I have to say, the rose gold are so feminine. A champagne and delicate aperitif kind of shoe. The kind of shoe that’s a classic with enough flair to surprise you later on – hang on am I talking about the shoe or it’s namesake? Either way – stunner!

Congratulations!. Every women’s dream ,to have shoes named after them. And what stylish and gorgeous shoes!!!.
I love the blonde ones, they look great ,my feet will look fantastic and be soooo comfy……..and as they say”blondes always have more fun”( even if they are shoes )💃🏼

Oh my Lord I would wear them all but for the sake if the competition it would be gold. The only trip we have planned is to the Gold Coast later this year which would be very fitting! I need me a pair of these.

I wear the ALEX daily to work and kicked myself for not getting them in silver…this afternoon when I recieved the email from FRANKIE4 about BETH I may have gasped with excitement! They are gorgeous- I think the first colour I will add to me collection will be Rose Gold and no doubt quickly followed by more ❤

I love how classy Blonde Beth looked. She could go from a simple throw on shoe to dressing up any outfit. That style would sure suit me. Jeans, white shirt and Blonde Beth looked fab. But I can also see her with so many other outfits.

What an honour to have such a beauty named after you. I could absolutely put BETH to the test in my job at a primary School. I need function and looks and BETH ticks both boxes not to mention the rose gold is the bomb diggity. Come on BETH come to Mumma!!

Of all the things to be named after you – a hardworking gorgeous shoe is excellent! I would positively ROCK a pair of gold BETH’s – I can see them brightening every day in my Primary classroom – and take me one step closer to my Ms Frizzle dream!

Have been a lover of Brouges since my teens. To find something comfortable, durable and stylish with out looking like grandma shoes is a god Send. Therefore terribly excited to be introduced to Beth. To choose between the Blonde and Rose Gold is difficult.

While feeling like a frumpy dumpy mum and checking my emails I came across your post – the blonde Beth’s would soothe my frazzled brain and more importantly sooth my runner wearing feet and smarten up any outfit!!!

I have been a brogue lover since my teens. To be able to get ones that are not only so stylish but to have the support and comfort is a god send. Especially for someone who has trouble with their feet but loves shoes. As for colour it’s between Blonde and Rose Gold. Probs go with Rose Gold first.

I’m SO EXCITED!! I’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of your namesake shoe! They’re gorgeous 😍 I’d have to go with the blond ones but it was a tight call with the rose gold ones coming in a close second. LOVE 💕

Holy sh*t these are AMAZING! I need the gold so bad, they are Beautiful, Extremely eye catching, on-Trend and well Holy sh*t they’re amazing! Did I say that?! You’ve sold me on the shoes and also on the HK trip 😀

Beth, I’ve been following you a while and have been smitten with your choice in footwear for a long time. I’ve decided 2018 is the year to take care of my tired teacher feet so have started to build up a footwear collection that I can be proud of ($15 Kmart flats are cute, but, ouch!). I’d love BETH to join my modest collection and think that rose gold would be the most amazing addition. Wouldn’t you love a teacher with shiney shoes?! Thanks for the chance.

How bloody fancy are you! I bet all those years ago when you started this blog you NEVER thought you’d have a show named after you!!!
I have eyes off the Frankie boots for such a long time but cause I’m
A dick who can’t spend money on herself I never go through with the purchase. Maybe this will be the year I do it…..maybe if I pass my first semester at Tafe it can be my reward?!

That’s pretty cool to get done named after you! Im a Frankie convert. My local shoe store has just started stocking them, and I treated myself to a pair over summer- so comfortable! I’ve actually never worn brogues yet, but I’ve been eyeing them off for winter this year. I’d go with the rose gold- I’ll be looking forward to seeing them when they come out. 😊

Frankie 4 fan through and through. Gee to add Beth to my collection where it’s so hard to find classy, comfy shoes for big feet! Come on rose gold or blonde and visit my farm in CQ and walk me to school for those busy days teaching Kindy.

Damn girl is it hard being so stylish someone decided to name bloody shoes after you?? Since I’m not a shiny gal myself, those blondes really call to me, and you wear them so well with the plain white button down and jeans! So basically my #mumstyle right there

What an honour to have your name added to these glamorous shoes! Congratulations on your hard work. My mother-in-law comments on my love of shoes (addiction is a better word for it) and metallic silver slides I wear, all the time, so it would be wrong of me not to own these precious Beth’s too. I can totally see myself rocking out in the rose gold brogues!

Wow! They are simply gorgeous and look so comfy (but not in a frumpy kind of way 😊). I love all of the colours but I think I wouldn’t be able to go past the rose gold – maybe they’d help me keep up with my three little boys!!

I love the Gold! I love Hong Kong, I go there for a conference every year but I’m yet to find a comfy shoe that will got the distance. It takes my feet at least a month to recover and I always lose a toenail! These might just be the answer!

As I read the blurb I had a little flurry of all types of designs go through my mind wondering what they would look like and then I saw them – they look bloody perfect! The gold are stunning and that’s what I’d love to have! Such a lucky duck to have your own shoe! Well done! 😘

Ohhhh LOVE THE BETH! And LOVE the Honkers pics! My feet are so terribly sore in whatever shoes I where (during pregnancy my feet got bigger and none of my shoes fit me properly anymore!) So I’m desperate for new shoes that fit and are comfortable! I’d be so grateful to win a new pair of shoes, I don’t even mind what colour, as they all look so cool! 🤞🏽🤞🏽

These shoes are absolutely perfect! Just love the pointy toe especially. And the gold! My gold Frankie sneakers look a bit worse for wear after being worn to death. I have a new, exciting job as an art teacher starting next week and am on the hunt for a pair of cool, closed toe, comfy shoes to wear on concrete floors all day. These are exactly the thing!

I would wear all three of these great colours but I feel my wardrobe is most lacking in the GOLD shoe department so I would choose gold. These would get daily wear in my life. Great shoes! And congratulations!!

Gold, Rose Gold, Blonde mmm.. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe which one will I choose they are all so gorgeous! If I have to then I’ll go with my favorite Beth (clothing) style with shoe, hang on still can’t choose,!! okay decision made Gold please since I already have that gingham dress…. that was hard x

Congratulations on the arrival of your baby Beth! She is gorgeous, with the cutest little features. The Blonde Beth would be fabulous for my first trip to Europe for our 10th wedding anniversary…and everything in between.

Haha it’s like you’ve read my mind! I love this post for the great fashion inspiration and watched your trip to HK with much interest as we are going there in April. I was actually thinking of getting some new Frankie’s just for this trip as I know (from your blog) how much walking we’ll be doing over there & I think the Beth’s in rose gold would be just the ticket to all day comfort while I explore and consume ALL of the dumplings!

Beth, your a women of many talents!!
I await eagerly for your new blogs to be posted on the facey and make sure I get time to read them in the day.
I’m pretty sure the rose gold would look pretty fab on the barkly tablelands at the next ladies day I go to at the bark hut.
Let me know what you think 😜😜

Wow, they are gorgeous, well named too!
Loving them and how you’ve styled them – great photos – if I must choose one colour then the blondes for me would be a fab addition to my “shoerobe” – can see me wearing these on high rotation to work and weekend. Perfection.

They are a seriously good-looking shoe!
We are moving to Amsterdam in April and feel like I might need to lift the wardrobe a bit in the style stakes to be on par with all of those trendy Europeans! The gold would be gorgeous please and thank you 😊

I’m dying to get my hands on a pair of these in rose gold for my beautiful mumma. She’s had so many issues with plantar fasciitis and feet in general and has struggled to find comfortable shoes. She’s such a trooper and tried to push through on our girls trip to London and Paris last year but I could see how hard the walking was for her. This would absolutely make her day!

Omgeeee what an honour dahls! Can’t believe you are like a famous model now with your own shoe and errything. A pair of rose golds for my birfday would be heaven on earth. And bravo to Rob too his shots are so beautiful and that vid of you doll! Seriously cool. Happy new year and all that also xxx

I am 18 weeks pregnant with my second child and I would love a pair of Blonde Beth’s to run around after my three year old toddler in. I may have to get my hubby to take me out somewhere nice so I can show them off.

I think these are the hottest shoes I have ever seen! 💘 I am coveting the rose gold.
I went to Hong Kong in September with girlfriends and I definitely needed these in my life, you are totally rocking them.

I always struggle to buy closed shoes as such, as just don’t love them on my feet. But considering my wardrobe choices are quite similar to yours, I am definitely buying some of these. Would love the gold ones…or rose gold I think. Love your Hong Kong pics. I took my 12 year old son for a visit there in May/June….it was stinking hot the entire time, but we loved it anyway.

I bloody love the rose gold! I’ve never owned a pair of brogues before. I’ve got rheumatoid arthritis which cancels out the majority of cute shoes – I’ve had to get rid of my beautiful heels #sob. I usually get standard black shoes that work with my orthotics and they cost a bomb so I spend only on work shoes. I don’t think I’d even need to wear orthotics with these because they’re podiatrist designed and made. P.s. how amazing are your holiday pics. Hk never looked so good!

These are just stunning Beth! I have recently invested in a few pairs of FRANKiE4 heels (which I adore) after their recent Sydney pop up, but would love the opportunity to road test a pair of their flats as we lead into the cooler months. All of the colours are beautiful and versatile, but I think the Blonde BETHS are a classic and would work really well in my shoe wardrobe! 🤞🏼

Ummmmmm let’s see. How do I choose when they all look so good on you and you have styled them to perfection? Perhaps blonde (to go with my hair), although a hot metallic never lets anyone down. Ummmmm, aaaahhh – WAY TOO HARD TO CHOOSE!

Ok – Blonde it is! Congratulations Beth – I love them and what an absolute buzz to have a shoe named after you. xx

I was struggling on the Frankie4 website to pick my fave out of the blonde and gold options (they’re both 👌). Then I saw the soon to be released Rose Gold Beth and found my hands down favourite! I would love to get my hands on a pair of these!!

What a magical journey your story took us on! Your clever photographer really captured some beautiful moments, and the Beth look stunning in every shot! I’m a size 12 shoe and can’t wait to get my hands on a blonde pair of The Beth! So glad Frankie4 even thinks of the larger footed babes!

Would love to try something a little more adventurous than my Stone Birkenstocks. Metallic might be a little too out there for me so I’d go for Blonde. Hopefully the start of a new love affair and comfy feet for cooler days.

I have fantasies about gold shoes…I LOVE them. And I love these in gold…so, obviously, my favorite ones are the gold ones (and would perfect you complete my shoe selection in my ‘capsule wardrobe’ for my trip to London and Paris next month!!

GOLD ALL THE WAY BABY! I have just had my lovely bee man out at work today extracting golden honey, I have a gold bee ring and gold (and Pom Pom!) bumble bee earrings…so clearly I need gold Beth’s to complete the look. Also…am on a panel with Styling You at a conference soon…clearly I’ll need the latest Frankie’s on my feet!

OMG, I very much need some grown up Beth shoes! At the age of 41, it’s time to both update my wardrobe but rock it too!. A pair of Beth’s would provide me with a smart, yet comfortable option, something other than the shabby thongs & runners I sadly rely upon.

These shoes are just gorg! Love the blonde colour, feel like it would go with any outfit. Day to night, office to bar! I need a new pair of comfy classy flats that transition from situation to situation as I often leave the house at 6am and don’t return until 2am 🙈

Wow what a great competition from Babymac and Frankie 4. Loved seeing how the “Beth ” complemented every outfit from jeans to a dress. A stylish but comfortable shoe is worth its weight in gold and gold is definitely the colour I would choose.

The golds are so divine I would love them! And perfect timing as I’m heading to NYC in April for my husband and I’s 40th birthday!
The Beth looks like the perfect Frankie4 to walk me around the Big Apple! 🤞

Love me a metallic pair of shoes and these are GORGEOUS! Well done to everyone involved! I am also all about the brogues and flats and whatever else isn’t a heel. I’m only short but who needs to be short with shoes this fab anyway? ❤️❤️

I’ll take all the colours, but if I must choose, then it is defo the rose gold! Trip looks amazeballs, you sure know how to jam pack a few days with all the good stuff! Oh and I’m a size 41, thank you Frankie & Beth

Beth your shoes, like you, are gorgeous. I would definitely pick Rose gold as they go with everything. I think I will have to get a black pair when they are released to wear to work. As a midwife I’m always on looking for comfy yet stylish shoes for work 😄

How hard is it to find flat, sensible shoes? God, I hate the word ‘sensible’ but when you use a walking stick, it’s a practicality you can’t ignore.
Along came ‘Beth’ screaming out to join my Lili Tan.
I choose Rose Gold, but let’s be clear, I want all three. Should I win, Beth in Rose Gold would be reunited with her siblings in my robe very quickly thereafter.

My stupid feet would love to try out Beth in any colour! I have yet to meet a new pair of shoes that I have not had to prepare my feet with bandaids for days and days.
Big hopes that Beth changes that!

Wow – these are gorgeous shoes! Been wanting to try this brand for awhile and this is good motivation to do so!! The Rose Gold BETH is just stunning – definitely my favourite colour and sure to be a fave shoe! Thanks for the chance to win! X

Blonde! 100%. My gosh they are beautiful and I would absolutely love a pair. We’re off to Japan later in the year and they would be perfect! We’re taking the kids so no doubt i’ll Be buying all the travel gear for them and won’t have much $ left for me.

Those beautiful photos! What a fun looking trip and those shoes! Well, they look the bomb. Can I please have a pair of the blonde Beth’s? I swear I will put them to good use. School runs, grocery shopping trips or something else equally glamorous! Glamour I will look anyway in a pair of those 😉

I’d love to win a pair. I’ve spent the last few months working hard to get fit (10kgs lost so far)… but all the running has left my legs and feet super tired and sore (plantar faciatis ☹️)… I recently upgraded my trainers and now it’s time to upgrade my work / casual shoes and these would be perfect.

Congratulations Beth! Such stylish shoes to have named after you! I’ve always hoped for a pair of Frankies. I’d seriously be happy with any colour but if I had to choose I’d go gold!
Many thanks Beth xx

[…] I’ve worn it here with a favourite cami underneath (because HEATWAVE), the fabulous and famously flattering Bohemian Traders distressed skinnies and the brand, spanking new BETH Derby flats from FRANKiE4 Footwear (you so need to check out this new style named after my girlfriend, BabyMac). […]

I am Beth. Just Beth. Although as I have moved to the country I am considering changing my name to Bev. Because I’ve won a blue ribbon at the local show and EVERYTHING. But I guess that’s fast forwarding a little. As Coldplay said, let’s go back to the start.. More about me.
